Senator Uoar, of Massachusetts,
stirred up hornets nest in the Uni
ted States Senate last Thursday, by
criticising in q severe manner the con-
duct of Speaker Carlisle, particularly
in his recent correspondence with
Mr.. Randall and others who desired
the rules suspended in order to get a
vote on the proposition to repeal the
tax on tobacco. The Massachusetts
Senator accused the Speaker of usur-
patton, and contrasted his rulings with
those of his predecessors, particularly
Mr.. Blaine. The glove thrown down
by Mr.. Hoar was quickly picked up
by Mr.. Beck, who, in his usual vigo-
rous manner, administered 4 repri-
mand to Mr.. Hoar which he will not
soon forget. Mr.. Blackburn followed
in an eloquent tribute to Speaker
Carlisle's fairness and ability, and
scored Mr.. Hoar in mercilcss man
ncr.

The county Bond Question.

In 1871 the Legislature authorized
this county to issue $3.50, 900 in bonds
as subscription to the stock of the
S. V. Railroad. S241,900 bonds were
issued; So, 100 bonds have not been
issued, there is suit pending about
them and if the county wins this suit,
they never will be issued. These
bonds were six per cents and the cou-
pons were not tax-receivable. In
1881 the county court obtained au-
thority to fund the debt in five per
cent. bonds, payable in not less than
three and not more than twenty-five
years. The interest was payable an
nually; the bonds were exempt from
county, district and municipal tax
alton, and the coupons were made re-
ceivab!e for all demands due the
county. The county court Numbered
most shamefully when they made
these coupons tax-receivable; but
having done so, it is too late to rem
edy the blunder.
Mr.. Baker was made the financial
agent of the county to call in the old
bonds and to issue the five per cents.
He would sell (say) $4,000 of five
per cents and use the money to buy
six per cents; or he would exchange
five per cents for six per cents
When the old bonds were brought To
Baker he was obliged to pay tue ac-
crued interest on them. For illus
tration. he would issue (say) S1O6,-
900 of five per cents in order to take
up 500, 600 of the old six per cents
the odd $4,000 represented the in
terest which had accrued. The five
per cents bore interest only from the
date of issue. Baker took up several
old bonds on which interest was due
for five years,-the holders had neg
lccted to present the coupons. This
back interest paid by Baker amounted
to 81, 1919.
A few words will explain how the
chief trouble about this matter arose.
The B. 6 o. tax for county purposes
amounts, in round numbers, to 81
500. The Company owes the tax for
80 to 'S5, both inclusive, SIS, O0O.-
If this tax had been collected each
year the sheriff would have had suf-
ficient money to cover the orders on
him, including the interest on the
bonds. But the railroad tax not being
paid, the levy which was made on ac-
count of interest was used to pay
other expenses of the county. This
railroad tax will undoubtedly he col
lected, and then the county will have
this SIS, 900 to make good its ac-
counts.

come accustomed. He may be de-
pended on to act always with the Dem

against caucus nomination. He has
been active and distinguished in the

man of ability and sagacity. Some
of his enemies predict that he will be

+ Gov. Wilson has vetoed the bill
providing for the bridging of the
Ohio, Kanawha, Big Sandy, and Tug
Rivers, the II. G. Davis railroad bill,
the bill concerning the taking of pri-
vate land for public purposes without
the consent of the owner, and the
measure providing for the relief of
Scott Van Meter. Mr.. Wilson's rea-
sons for vetoing the first bill is that it
places too many vital interests of
West Virginia in the hands of the
United States Congress or the Secre-
tary of War. His reason for vetoing
the Davis bill is that it is unconstitu-
tional.
